And his side."

That his brow adorns?--

But of thorns."

Many a tear."

What hath he at last?--

Jordan passed."

Pass away."

Answer, Yes."

Go, labor on; spend and be spent
Author: Bonar Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #608 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:13 Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on; spend and be spent,--
Thy joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went:
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on; 'tis not for naught;
Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not:
The Master praises,--what are men?
3 Go, labor on; enough, while here,
If he shall praise thee, if he deign
Thy willing heart to mark and cheer:
No toil for him shall be in vain.
4 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight peal: Behold, I come!

Sow in the morn thy seed
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #703 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:13 Lyrics: 1 Sow in the morn thy seed,
At eve hold not thy hand,
To doubt and fear give thou no heed,
Broadcast it o'er the land.
2 And duly shall appear,
In verdure, beauty, strength,
The tender blade, the stalk, the ear,
And the full corn at length.
3 Thou canst not toil in vain:
Cold, heat, and moist, and dry,
Shall foster and mature the grain
For garners in the sky.
4 And when the glorious end,
The day of God shall come,
Then angel reapers shall descend,
And heaven sing Harvest home. Topics: The Christian Life Honor and Influence; Sow thy Seed
Sow in the morn thy seed
Teach me, my God and King
Author: George Herbert, 1593-1633 Hymnal: Common Praise #583 (2000) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:1-13 Lyrics: 1 Teach me, my God and King,
in all things thee to see;
and what I do in anything
to do it as for thee.
2 A man that looks on glass,
on it may stay his eye;
or, if he pleaseth, through it pass,
and then the heaven espy.
3 All may of thee partake;
nothing can be so mean
which, with this tincture, For thy sake,
will not grow bright and clean.
4 A servant with this clause
makes drudgery divine;
who sweeps a room, as for thy laws,
makes that and the action fine.
5 This is the famous stone
that turneth all to gold;
for that which God doth touch and own
cannot for less be told. Topics: Proper 20 Year B Languages: English Tune Title: SANDYS

"Looking unto Jesus"
Author: John N. Darby Hymnal: Laudes Domini #344 (1888) Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:13 First Line: O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more!
The light of his countenance shineth so bright,
That here, as in heaven, there need be no night.
2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear;
I tremble no more when I see Jesus near;
I know that his presence my safeguard will be,
For, "Why are you troubled," he saith unto me.
3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found,
When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round;
They bear me away in his presence to be:
I see him still nearer whom always I see.
4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace
Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face;
Shall know how his love went before me each day,
And wonder that ever my eyes turned away. Topics: Assurance Urged; Blindness; Christians Encouragements; Comfort; Courage Languages: English Tune Title: GOSHEN
